Comments	The Wyndum resort was was not set up to accomodate divers. Most in our group paid for an upgrade which put us further away from the boats and docks. Worse the hours for meals almost totally precluded us from eating in any of the restaurants. We tried to do 5 dives per day which for the most part was impossible if you wanted to eat. Breakfast opened at 7-7:15 island time making it difficult to get to the boats at 7:50am . THE BOATS CAME IN AT 12:20 WITH LUNCH OPENING AT 12:30 but the afternoon boats loaded at 12:50. We soon gave up trying to get a sandwhich from any of the restaurants despite telling the staff we only had 10-15 minutes.The afternoon bosts came in at 5:30 with dinner at 6-6:15 island time and the same 6:50 loading window. We finished the week tired of the hassle despite this September Fest week being a designated dive week for our large group of predominantly 60 divers.
